Chateau Barrabaque
Fronsac
The owner of the Barrabaque vineyard wanted to test the robots and therefore decided to rent them for the first year. Before the end of the year, she was convinced of all the benefits of the Vitirover solution and decided to purchase the robots and charging stations. She says ; "These robots now enable us to maintain total, controlled natural grass cover on our plots, without human intervention and with the utmost respect for the environment."
– Reduced soil compaction with a reduction in the number of mechanical mowing passes from 5 to 1 – No new broken vine stocks in the area, compared to an 8% loss last season – The Vitirover has 2 small gyromotors located at the front to mow as close as possible to the trunkss without damaging the vine stocks. – Carbon footprint reduced from 156 kg/year to 7.5 kg/year CO2 eq – 10 fewer tractor hours (5 passes over 2.5 hectares) – Reduction in consumables - 5 L of fuel compared to 44 L
The Solution is composed of herds of autonomous, AWD, industrial, connected solar robots that allow the replacement of Glyphosate or traditional engine equipment in complex large vegetation areas. The robots are 100% autonomous thanks to their solar panel, working in the GNSS limits of the plot. Intelligent circulation in the plot (IoT - AI) gives the robots the ability to get out of all-terrain traps, operating as managed fleets (Connected object, Remote control, Predictive maintenance), with a very low power consumption (1W per kg).
